Hello, hello! How have y’all been doing? So, now that we’ve covered how to pick a good online casino and the best bonus for you needs and shared some great tips on picking the right casino game, it’s time to get specific game tips. Today I’ll let you in on a cool option available at live dealer blackjack called “bet behind”.
It is exactly as it sounds – you’ll have the chance to bet behind another player. Just enter the online casino lobby and pick a live blackjack table, at which there are some players already. Watch the players for a couple of games and pick someone that seems to know what they’re doing. For example, you might pick the one that’s on a winning streak, a high roller, or someone who doesn’t take long to make their decision on what they want to do with their hand. Pay attention also to players who bet on multiple hands – that’s an easy way to assess their skills faster.
Once you’ve picked your player, simply put your chips alongside theirs and watch as the game unfolds. Now, you’ll have to accept that player’s decision no matter what it is. That would mean that you could be winning but you could be losing as well. After all, although it isn’t a game of chance, blackjack allows for variability even if you’re using the perfect strategy.
Unfortunately, even if someone is very skillful at blackjack and even if they have been winning 10 times in a row, they could still have their luck turn around and start losing. And, sadly, that could start happening as soon as you bet behind. That, however, is the worst case scenario. So, although possible, it isn’t very likely to happen.
The “bet behind” option is a great opportunity for beginners. No matter if you’ve never played blackjack before or if you haven’t played at an online casino, choosing to bet behind a more experienced player is definitely a wonderful idea – that way you will be playing the game in real money mode but you won’t have to make vital decisions just yet. It’s also great when you want to play at a particular table but all the seats are taken as most tables have the “bet behind” option available.
Make sure to try the rather interesting blackjack variations that allow a lot of players to play at the same table at the same time, such as Live Unlimited Blackjack by PlayTech and the Blackjack Party Table by Evolution Gaming. Those are a lot of fun and have some curious rules and/or extras.
The bet behind option is a chance to become more experienced in online blackjack.
